National Chocolate Milk Day (yassss, it’s a thing) is Sunday, September 27th and TruMoo has some delicious chocolate milk smoothie recipes to help you celebrate!

I made a “Fuel Up Smoothie” with TruMoo Chocolate milk, and even though it had kale in it (which I’m still a little fearful of), it also had the chocolate, so how bad could it be, right? Right! It was pretty darn good, y’all.

I thought it was going to be green because of the kale, but mine stayed chocolate-y looking. With the protein boost of the milk, it helped keep me energized through my afternoon energy slump, and that’s no small feat, believe me. I’m a napper by trade. It would also make a great breakfast!

It’s no wonder TruMoo Chocolate milk is so well loved. It’s made with fresh white milk sourced from your local dairy, pure cocoa and just enough natural sugar for the best taste!

I saw a few snowflakes in the air last week and I nearly went bazonkers with excitement. I just don’t get it here very often, and it rarely sticks.

Last year there was one day with a thin blanket that lasted just a few hours, and it made me so happy! I know all of you buried in the Northeast are rolling your eyes at my piddly winterscape. Sorry!

It’s just that I miss all the fun outdoor activities from my years in Michigan, even shoveling snow. Yep, I love doing that! Always have.

I love sledding, tubing, tobogganing (there are some really cool frozen runs in the Kalamazoo area) and ice skating. And of course building at least one snowman a year is essential. The top outdoor wintertime activity for Americans is building a snowman, followed by starting a snowball fight and sledding.

Watching movies tops the list of Americans’ favorite indoor winter activities, followed by reading books and playing games.

Whether indoors or outdoors, nearly 70 percent of us agree that hot chocolate is the drink that reminds us most of childhood. There’s something very comforting about a nice hot mug of cocoa after a day of winter fun.

There’s also something very comforting about a hot breakfast for dinner after winter fun, and that’s how these chocolate marshmallow waffles came to be. They combine two of my favorite things – waffles and chocolatey goodness.

I also made some raspberry cream topping with Polaner All Fruit and Cool Whip, and added a few fresh berries on top. It all works together to make the chocolate marshmallow waffles even more delicious!

Instructions

Combine Bisquick, milk, oil and egg in a mixing bowl; stir until blended. Pour onto center of hot waffle iron. Close lid of waffle iron. Bake for about 5 minutes or until steaming stops. Remove waffle.

To make raspberry cream topping, fold fruit spread gently into container of Cool Whip until fruit is dispersed evenly, but still has little pieces showing. Spoon or pipe onto plated waffle and add fresh berries and maple syrup, as desired.

Recipe Notes

If you can't find TruMoo Chocolate Marshmallow Milk, you can substitute TruMoo Chocolate Milk for a slightly different, but equally delicious flavor.

I was invited to shop for TruMoo Orange Scream milk and Target Halloween costumes and then share my honest opinions and experiences with you. It was so much fun!

Run to the dairy section in Target or the grocery store, because just in time for this year’s Halloween tricks and treats, TruMoo Milk has introduced Limited Edition TruMoo Orange Scream milk.

Your kids are going to love this! Heck, you’ll love it! Whether you sip it straight from a glass or use it to make some fun Halloween treats, you won’t want to miss your chance to get some of this limited edition creamy orange milk while you can. It tastes like a creamsicle!

And you can use it to make an Orange Screamsicle Milk Shake like I did! In a blender, mix 2 parts ice cream to 1 part Orange Scream milk. Yum!

You could also make a Monster Mash Float or Paranormal Pudding. Either way, Halloween is going to be a scream, an Orange Scream!

Like regular TruMoo, the nation’s leading ready-to-serve chocolate milk brand, TruMoo Orange Scream is made with wholesome low-fat white milk and is brought to you by your trusted local TruMoo dairy. And with no artificial growth hormones or high fructose corn syrup, you’ll be happy when it casts a spell on you and your family.

When I was picking up my TruMoo at Target, I also did a little costume shopping. I haven’t dressed up in a few years, so I figured it was time.

I finally found the hot cocoa-inspired TruMoo Chocolate Marshmallow Milk I keep hearing about. It’s available for a limited time only, so if you spot some at a store near you, GRAB IT!!!

It’s the essence of hot cocoa with the magic of marshmallows inside. Drink it icy cold from the carton, or heat it for a few seconds in the microwave for a soothing hot cocoa treat. To turn it s’mores-y, dip the rim of your glass into some graham cracker crumbs first!

I’ve been hooked on TruMoo since my kids and I discovered it. As a child, any chocolate milk I had was through the spoon and powder method.

What was I thinking? The rich, velvety taste of TruMoo chocolate milk puts that lumpy, grainy chocolate concoction firmly into my past.

In fact, I liked the Chocolate Marshmallow flavor so much that I used it to make a hot cocoa-inspired chocolate marshmallow pudding!

Just use TruMoo in place of white milk when making instant pudding, and you’ll get a double chocolate-y boost of flavor! Line the bottom of the dish with mini cookies or graham crackers and then layer on pudding, whipped cream, more cookies, more pudding and finally a twist of whipped cream on top.

(All I had in the house at the time was aerosol whipped cream. I would have preferred to use whipped topping from a tub as it holds up better and contains less air, but I was snowbound and another trip to the store was out of the question.)

TruMoo Chocolate Marshmallow milk is made with fresh white milk sourced from regional dairies around the country, pure cocoa and just enough natural sugar to make it taste great. It’s nutritious and delicious!

Contains no Artificial Growth Hormones and no High Fructose Corn Syrup.

But in all honesty, I didn’t buy them chocolate milk all the time, just now and again as a special treat, partly because I couldn’t find it in a lowfat variety.

Now I can.

TruMoo Chocolate Milk is 1% lowfat milk, and I’ll be darned if I can tell. It’s still smooth, rich and creamy with a delicious chocolate flavor from pure cocoa.

Real chocolate milk.

Amen.

TruMoo is fresh from local dairies, contains NO high fructose corn syrup and has 140 calories per serving (a whole cup). Most of the sugar in TruMoo is natural sugar from lactose, and just like regular milk, it provides 8 essential nutrients: calcium, protein, vitamins A, D and B12, riboflavin, phosphorus and potassium.
